Making Me Watch Movies
There’s a new gold standard in film criticism, and it’s three guys with microphones and absolutely no credentials.
Jake is a connoisseur of Asian cinema and films that remind you what it means to be human. Matt prefers movies about deeply disturbed people—the kind that leave you wanting to take a long, scalding shower. And Anthony? He loves "basic" movies, the kind that make you feel like a red-blooded, flag-waving American.
Together, they curate the most eclectic, unpredictable, and undeniably superior film library (which, to this day, has never repeated a director—because we have taste). Each episode, they force-feed you cinematic greatness and then aggressively debate whether the movie was actually worth your time.
Welcome to Making Me Watch Movies—the only movie podcast that matters.
MMwM is a bimonthley (lol) podcast available anywhere that matters!
